Ironstone Merlot 2021

The Ironstone 2021 Merlot is bursting with luscious fruit and soft tannins with excellent drinkability. Rich, ripe black cherry and black plums leads to a hint of vanilla and toast. Flavors of currants with juicy dark fruit and spicy cedar end with a rounded, well-balanced and complex finish.

Merlot grapes, for this vintage, were grown in several of Lodi’s sub-appellations including Alta Mesa and Sloughhouse. These different locations provide diverse soils and climate that, when combined, create a more complex wine than one vineyard location alone.
